Toppo (food)

Toppo (Food)

Toppo is a popular snack food originating from Japan. It is produced by Lotte, a multinational conglomerate with a significant presence in the food industry. Toppo is often described as a reverse Pocky, another popular Japanese snack, due to its unique structure where the filling is inside the biscuit stick rather than on the outside.

History

Lotte introduced Toppo in 1999 as a new addition to their snack food line. The product was designed to offer a unique twist on the traditional biscuit stick snack, with the filling placed inside the stick. This innovative design quickly gained popularity, and Toppo has since become a beloved snack in Japan and other parts of the world.

Varieties

Toppo comes in a variety of flavors. The original Toppo is filled with a sweet chocolate cream. However, over the years, Lotte has introduced other flavors such as strawberry, matcha (green tea), and cookies and cream. Each flavor offers a unique taste experience, catering to a wide range of taste preferences.

Packaging

Toppo is typically packaged in a box, with individual packets inside. Each packet contains two biscuit sticks, making it a convenient snack for on-the-go consumption. The packaging design often features bright colors and playful graphics, reflecting the fun and enjoyable nature of the snack.

Popularity

Toppo's unique design and variety of flavors have contributed to its popularity. It is not only enjoyed in Japan but has also gained a following in other countries. It is often found in Asian supermarkets and online stores that specialize in Japanese snacks.
